How to Obtain

Helen can be obtained through:

• Union Triumphal Event - Primary source of Helen fragments
• Summoning Circle - Using Summoning Scrolls
• Special Event Offers - Limited-time purchase opportunities

Important: How Her Bonus Works

Helen's bonuses are city bonuses, which means:

• She must be active in your lineup for bonuses to apply
• She must be present in the city (not on a march)
• If you send her on a march, food production bonus stops until she returns
• Activate her before starting troop training to get the speed bonus

Optimal Usage Strategy

For Troop Training

1. Activate Helen in your captain slots
2. Equip her with Honored Ruler armor (economy set)
3. Start your troop training queue
4. Once training begins, you can swap her out if needed (speed is locked in at start)

For Food Production

• Keep Helen active whenever you're not using her slot for combat
• Combine with upgraded Farmer's Houses for maximum food production
• Essential for maintaining large armies without food deficit

Comparison with Economy Captains

Captain | Primary Bonus | Best For
Helen | Food Production + Troop Training | Army building
Aurora | Construction Speed | Building upgrades
Farhad | Research Speed | Academy research
